.@PaulDJohnston discusses the crisis of hurricanes in the Caribbean that hit Puerto Rico. We have to think about mitigating climate risks. #QConLondon
The biggest thing you can do to reduce climate change is to not have children, but one way of looking at it is that humans raised to be environmentalists can help solve it in the long term.
Recycling doesn't help much, taking fewer flights does help. #QConLondon
You can switch to purchasing renewable energy for your home. Community societies can create small energy companies. #QConLondon
IoT device production and obsolescence will contribute to 3.5% of carbon emissions. Datacenters are rising from 2% of carbon emissions (equal to aviation)
Efficiency won't save us because demand is still increasing. #QConLondon
Each Bitcoin transaction is 193kg of CO2, or a car trip from London to Edinburgh and back. "That should horrify you." #QConLondon
And we don't know the carbon footprint of each AWS instance, every Google search query, etc. #QConLondon
The business risks of climate change: what if there's a tax on carbon emissions? Best to start using carbon-neutral datacenters now rather than scrambling or paying the fine. [ed: I was pretty proud of what I saw from @gcpcloud. http://cloud.google.com/sustainability ] #QConLondon
Be aware of the physical risks to your suppliers of climate change. Move your business to renewable datacenters. Encourage suppliers to do the same as well. Remember that computing is as big of an emitter as aviation. #QConLondon
AWS is confusing -- because they have only 5 carbon-neutral regions, and the rest are not. they're only "planning to" with no timescale.
They're marketing mostly but not providing public data. Consider moving to the sustainable regions. write to them about the rest #QConLondon
.@azure offsets their carbon with certificates, and they offset their flights. Well done if you're already on Azure, but they need to improve direct emissions rather than only offsetting.
"We love @GCPcloud. They are brilliant. They are largest buyer of renewable." #QConLondon
And GCP actually buys renewables *locally* rather than offsetting elsewhere.
Alibaba doesn't seem to care about the issue, and uses coal grid electricity for their Chinese datacenters. #QConLondon
Oracle claims to be very green -- some regions are 100% renewable like UK, but only 29-33% over next year in total. #QConLondon
IBM's commitment is very data driven and public; they procure 50% from local sources for datacenters. You can't buy a 100% renewable compute unit from them though.
Renewable definitions differ. How do you categorize nuclear? [ed: I say it's carbon-neutral!] #QConLondon
We need 10x the current amount of renewable capacity to power just our datacenters by 2025. [ed: build nuclear! it's baseline power load perfect for datacenters!] #QConLondon
Offsetting just kicks the can down the road without managing demand and production.
Stop buying things that are polluting with CO2. Tell your providers you want 100% renewable. And look at applications of ML (e.g. Deepmind) to optimize production & consumption. #QConLondon
[ed: as tech-irt at Google, I got to see some of the cool software that Google uses to manage which fans are on and keeping the datacenters as hot as is within operational bounds rather than over-cooling]
Sign the pledge to have sustainable servers by 2024! [fin] #QConLondon
"Climate change is our problem, because we are the first generation to see the effects, and the last generation who can fix it. You're now empowered to do something, so go fix it." [fin for real] #QConLondon
